Libraries In Black

Node js libraries are trusted, they are tested and used by great community therefore it is less likely to have a security problem. I know, security for your application is one of the most important things, for me too. But you can trust Node Js libraries, they are used in even enterprise applications.

Do you remember times that you have to implement the feature that you want to have in a library? These times passed, since you can find a library for everything on npm.

Npm is a package manager for Node Js. If you develop a library and put it on Github then you can release it on NPM. It only takes a minute. Even big companies releasing libraries for Node Js because why not?
